Kiedis, Flea and Smith are all pushing 60 in a way that would have most 30-year-olds pining for a nap.

From the frenetic Stooges cover I Wanna Be Your Dog to By the Way, the Chili Peppers raise the bar for power-funk-rock.

Perhaps all this energy can be put down to the band’s disavowal of the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle of their youth (or at least the second one); Flea hints to as much after the obligatory Brisbane comment about our river, a fake beach and his post-gig party plans.

“We’ll be getting on the chamomile tea and watching the final episode of True Detective,” he says.

Throw in slower tempo offerings such as Flea’s Pea and the ever-popular Californication and you have an eclectic gig that would leave few disappointed.
